@RuthTriglia @LenSchulwitz@TriumphICDHQ@Alvaroidz@elonmusk Irrespective of your political view I don’t think Musk is being as active as he is for a tax cut. With respect, he is many billions of dollars way ahead of that. Whether you agree with his views isn’t the point - but I don’t think you can question his sincerity.
@RadioGenoa While what is being said is jarring, he is free to express his views, no matter what we think of those views. Freedom of speech is essential.
@GoingParabolic Do you get a credit if the values drop? I would have thought this tax will reduce property values significantly so that all owners will receive a substantial tax credit. There would also be material avoidance and complicance costs.
@MikeNewZ_@chrisluxonmp Good point! Define “core” responsibilities - not sexy but important. It would be tempting to do the same for central government as well. Education/ infrastructure/ Health/ Justice (Courts & enforcement). Get some genuine focus on what matters.
@NZMAGAMike Any citizen must be allowed to vote irrespective of their birth country. Interesting debate is whether you have more than one nationality. Equally, should you be allowed to vote when you are in prison?
@jeremycorbyn It’s not the far right or left that are the problem in of themselves. It’s authoritarianism, and extremes. Both sides of left and right are equally bad. It’s this extremism cloaked in revisionist history that we need to keep an eye on.
@MichelleObama@KamalaHarris Embrace democracy. Would be great to see specific policies like tax rates, and debt, rather than just looking at their personalities. But can’t say it’s not all consuming entertainment and I’m not even American and can’t vote… 🤣
@kiwirishhpsauce Fukushima - was a whisker away from destroying Tokyo. I’m happy to pay more for something that isn’t that inherently potentially so destructive. Can’t control everything.
@pearce_murray You think the government deliberately wants to put these business out of business? With the loss of jobs, costs to landlords.. and the local economy. Do you wonder if the cost of running these business, including the increased minimum wage has impacted on the costs and demand?
